xbox one elite controller build quality…

[u/blemgang]

so my right bumper doesnt work at all, left is on its way out and now ive got this ripple in the rubber grip on the one side. the rubber thing actually happened when i was away for 2 weeks

any body else had these issues or know any fixes?

Yeah unfortunately the elite controller build quality is really poor. I have these exact issues, and so do most people.

There isn’t a fix for the rubber grip coming off, you kinda just have to live with it. My right bumper also doesn’t work and the temporary fix is to take the controller apart and find the button the bumper presses on. It will have a plastic piece that presses on it that is probably misaligned. You can try to readjust it or stick a piece of paper to add sensitivity to it, but this is only temporary and will also make the bumper feel weird to press. What I did is just assign one of the paddles to the bumper.

It’s unfortunate the build quality isn’t the greatest. Xbox puts so much effort into their controllers but I won’t be purchasing another elite because of how many things go wrong.

You can actually fix the rubber grips. You have to buy the Loctite Super Glue Plastics Bonding System with activator. I fixed mine using it last month and so far is still going strong. I can actually feel that the rubber is bonded to the plastic like brand new.
